Second pregnancy struggle’s

6 weeks pregnant and struggling with the worst sickness!! I also have a very bad cold atm and just overall exhausted. I feel so bad for my son as I’ve been unable to get out of bed the last 3 days, so my partner has been looking after him whilst letting me rest. I struggled in my first pregnancy but now worry how you are meant to go through the struggles of pregnancy and take care of a toddler at the same time! It all feels so overwhelming and impossible!! Any tips and advice would be so helpful😊

I’m the exact same! Second pregnancy and don’t remember the sickness being this bad. I feel like I’m hungover every day it’s such a terrible feeling, just always feel uncomfortable 😣 my daughter goes to nursery 3 days a week & I’m not currently working and honestly if she didn’t I would defiantly be in bad way, not sure I’d cope

Same! I’ve been so so sick. I think it doesn’t help that my hormones are still high as I’m breastfeeding and baby is picking up every bug at nursery and passing it on to me. I’m literally having to nap during my lunch break to survive the afternoon then going to bed with him at 8pm 🤣 first trimester can’t be done quick enough!

You poor thing, go easy on yourself. I was exactly where you were with my first (granted I didn’t have another child) I would say that if you are struggling and not getting any better/ able to eat - you should see if you can get some IV fluids in your early maternity unit

If you have a super stuffy nose that just won't clear, look into Gestational Rhinitis - I had it with my first and was eventually prescribed some antihistamines that *saved my sanity*. Might not be what's going on but I tell everyone about it because I'd never heard of it before 😅
